Guti, hard to dislike?
Guti is an absolute genius. Way ahead of many of his peers and a BITW caliber talent. Just wasn't to be with his moodiness, which frustrated many people.

Guti was never a genius ffs.
He could have incredible one off moments but for majority of time was lazy and could be ridiculously sloppy on ball.
Wouldnt get anywhere close to the Barca or Real teams of today.

No probably he wouldn't. But the teams today are more robotic than the ones in the 90s and 00s. Flair got replaced by clinical and merciless execution, pace, athleticism and so on, which are more important in today's game. That's why players like James and Isco are so coveted, they're rarities. Guti would have a spot in the team, but wouldn't start a lot, because of his mood swings. He's nonetheless a boss and a genius. One-off moments? Pity he had them almost as frequently as any other player when on form. He just didn't stay on form. It's nothing to do with talent, he's had the skills and charisma on par with the best players ever. It's his non-extistent professionalism that let him down.

Massive over rating of Guti there.
Nowhere near the skills to be amongst best players ever and not a genius or even close to it.
There have been loads of lazy, skillfull players like him that try to many individual things.
The vast majority of skills he tried never came off anyway and he gave away ball cheaply all the time.

Benzema? Just because his footballing qualities are recognized it doesn't mean he's liked by ppl. I think same applies to Marcelo.

Honestly, I believe people here really only like the recent arrivals: James, Modric, Isco. Perhaps, in time, we will grow to dislike them as well.

I do believe that I have not mentioned any such players (Modric doesn't really count, now does he?).

Yeah it wasn't to contradict you or anything, just emphasizing the reason we (might) only like the new ones. They still haven't tried to break our players in half.. may be in time.

Bale is likeable in terms of behavior and personality,meanwhile Carvajal seems like Arbeloa Jr. We mostly hate Bale because he's been so disappointing.

I was gonna say the same thing, I can't see a reason why I could hate Bale, he seems nice.
Caravajal on the other hand ... the angry little white dog, no surprise he's a RM canterano.

Um, no. Guti was played out of position as a DM and he sucked there, but that was only because he was forced to do there during Galaticos. Guti's problem was all mental, and inconsistent, however on his day his through balls were up there with the best in the game, and his short passing was precise as Xavi. What he doesn't have, was Xavi's calm or professionalism. He was not Zidane on the dribble but far from poor. He is a CM, and only a CM, not a winger, not a DM, and could pass for an AM. He was played as a striker too, but was poor.
